About me

Understanding how we relate to ourselves, each other, and the natural world has always been my passion. Initially, I believed research would be the best way to explore this passion. However, shortly before completing my Master's in Neuropsychology, I realized academia wasn't meant for me. This led me to pursue a path where I could work directly with people. Around that time, a bike accident that led to months of recovery taught me much about the body’s wisdom. This experience showed me how interconnected our mind, body, and spirit are, and kickstarted a personal journey that has deeply shifted my relationship with life. When I moved to Berlin, I started creating my manifesto for a holistic approach to counseling and a space that would serve as a haven and a meeting point for people with similar values and curiosities: Ōsmos Studio. Ōsmos Studio Neukölln closed its doors at the end of 2022. And I, after a decade abroad and midway through my training in psychedelic therapy, felt the need to spend more time back home in Spain, reconnecting with my roots and the mountains and valleys where I grew up.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Psychedelic integration therapyRecommended for those who have had psychedelic experiences and want help understanding and integrating the insights into their everyday life for personal growth and self-discovery.
Informed by transpersonal therapy, introspective practices, somatics, neuropsychological findings, and nature's wisdom, my practice is guided by insights into the interconnectedness of life, the core need for belonging, the importance of making the unconscious conscious, and the body as a source of joy and wisdom. I accompany people facing mental, emotional, and relational challenges, as well as those in a process of self-discovery. My focus areas include major life transitions, queerness and LGBTQAI+ affirming care, anxiety, relationships and attachment, entheogenic/psychedelic work, and spirituality. By opening a non-judgmental and curious space, we will create a deep understanding of your experience and your system as it stands. We will invite in the resources you already have and develop new ones. Through conversation, introspection, and embodiment practices, I will support you in strengthening your connection to yourself and those around you, and in integrating the different parts that make you whole. A significant part of my work is dedicated to psychedelic preparation and integration, a field I began exploring 10 years ago. Expanded states of consciousness and entheogens/psychedelics are powerful tools for transformation and healing. This work is best seen as a process, with every part affecting the whole, making preparation and integration as important as the experience itself. During preparation, we cover aspects like safety, expectations, and intentions, as well as practices to enhance openness to the experience. Post-experience, we explore and process what arose, integrate insights, and translate them into meaningful changes for your daily life. Currently, most of my offerings are online. I occasionally co-facilitate in-person retreats and workshops. Inspired by my personal experience of the transformative power of groups and our need for community, my intention is to gradually dedicate more time to group offerings.
